AN INFINITE STORM OF BEAUTY
"When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop,
striped and dotted with continents and islands,
flying through space with all the other stars,
all singing and shining together as one,
the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
This grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere,
the dew is never all dried at once;
a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming,
on seas and continents and islands,
each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
John Muir (21 April 1838 – 24 December 1914)
